Koying's test-builds are Jarvis, not Krypton. They provide HD audio passthrough whereas V16 does not.

"Koying's build OR the v17 builds". Typo. Still that isn't the important part of the statement. Official Kodi 16 has no audio or visual issues. Passthrough is an fluff feature for anyone who doesn't have an Atmos/DTS:X receiver and content.

Sorry for adding water on the meaningless pass-through issue (it will sound the same ...period)
But I dont understand the statement of "no audio and visual issues", well I have lots of issues with my Kodi16 on SHield compared to Boxee box. Maybe you say that it is not a Kodi problem, but anyway most of my DVD rip have stuttering issues or audio out of sync (regardless of acceleration is turned on or off) and they played absolutly fine on Boxee box.

I have no issues with all of my blu ray rips (direct rip to mkv). If you are having issues it isn't anything to do with the Shield unless yours is defective.
